BADLAND front bumper installed

this bumper came off a 2000 tacoma which you think would be the same well i guess its not .... the front section of the frame that sticks out well that needs to be cut out clear back to about flush with where the body mount is and you will need to cut out the section the skid plate bolts too which is fine cause theres room on the bumper for it to bolt too .... now the next problem the lower a/c line is smack dab right in the way and needs to be take out which is fine as i never use the a/c soo now im thinking oba .... other than that the 2 lower tabs that bolt to the tow hook bolts are fine and i got one of the side bolts on each side to work still have to make a plate for the frame ends and that's two more bolts so that's 8 bolts more than plenty it looks great and is super stout

note blinkers are just temp zip tied tell i can get my friend to help me or you could use stock taco blinkers

the pro comp lights ain't bad for being 35 dollars they throw a wide flat spread of light which is good i think cause they throw light off to the side

Next time you get some bright sunshine would you mind taking some more for us. Maybe a side view on level with the truck.


Looks great!
